I think this version is more accurate than the previous ones. I pulled it from the live
performance of the song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iSivQmzJ_w. Some of the
names may be wrong, but the fingering is correct, I believe. See the chord diagrams.
It's a beautiful song. Enjoy!
CAPO IV (note all chords and diagrams assume CAPO IV is nut)
Verse 1:
G2 G2addC G2
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Em7 EmaddC Em7
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A Am7child in a manger

Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl

G2 G2addC G2
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
Em7 Em7addC Em7
To romance a world that has torn all apart?

Verse 2:
G2 G2addC G2
Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
Em7 EmaddC Em7
All that we have whether costly or meek
Am7Because we believe
G2 G2addC G2 Em7
